Why Choose Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) with Healthtrip

When it comes to treating chronic back pain, there are numerous options available, and it can be overwhelming to navigate the complex world of spinal surgeries. However, for those suffering from degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or spinal stenosis, Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) has emerged as a highly effective and popular choice. At Healthtrip, we understand the importance of making an informed decision about your health, and that's why we're here to demystify TLIF and explore why it might be the right option for you.

What is Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF)?

TLIF is a type of spinal fusion surgery that involves fusing two or more vertebrae in the lower back to alleviate pain and discomfort. The procedure is performed through a minimally invasive approach, which reduces tissue damage and promotes faster recovery. During the surgery, the damaged disc is removed, and a bone graft is inserted to fuse the adjacent vertebrae. This fusion stabilizes the spine, reducing pressure on the surrounding nerves and alleviating pain.

How does TLIF work?

The TLIF procedure typically takes around 2-4 hours to complete, and patients are usually discharged from the hospital within 3-5 days. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and the patient is positioned on their stomach to allow the surgeon to access the spine from the side. The surgeon then creates a small incision and uses specialized instruments to remove the damaged disc and prepare the vertebrae for fusion. The bone graft is then inserted, and the incision is closed. In some cases, additional instrumentation such as screws or rods may be used to provide extra support to the spine.
